Sydney: Australia moved into second place in Pool A with a 64-run win over Sri Lanka at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday. This result means that the four-time champions avoid a detour to New Zealand during the knockout stages of the World Cup. Glenn Maxwell was adjudged the Man of the Match.

Glenn Maxwell scored his first one-day international hundred and Shane Watson posted a career-reviving 67 in a 160-stand after Steven Smith (72) and Michael Clarke (68) shared a 134-run third-wicket partnership to steer Australia to 376-9, the highest total ever against Sri Lanka at the World Cup.

The Sri Lankans chased bravely after losing Lahiru Thirimanne (1), with Kumar Sangakkara (104) scoring his third consecutive hundred and surpassing 14,000 career runs in ODIs and sharing a 130-run partnership with Tillakaratne Dilshan (62).
